She folder her hands on top of the book and looked at me.She folder her hands on top of the book and looked at me. "Ready?" she said. "For what?" Where was this going? "You're going to take me out dancing..." Her eyes dared me to say no. "Then let's go." She put the book in her purse and stood up, her dress falling down the length of her body, looking like it was made just for her. Then she grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the door. We went out to a local dance place that she said would interest me. I paid the cover for both of us. I bought the drinks. There was even a young man walking around selling roses, so I bought one of those. I gave it to my lady friend. She smiled, held it to her nose, and then placed it sideways in her mouth, standing up as she did so. I could see a very slight drop of blood where a thorn had cut into her lip, but she didn't seem to notice. There was no one on the dance floor as she pulled me up to it and out to the middle, but that didn't appear to concern her. The drop of blood on her lip grew to a small bubble and then rolled lazily down her chin, leaving behind a red trail. She moved in and started dancing up against my body, sliding in out away, up and down. Her hands where on my shoulders caressing my ears and the back of my neck. So I started moving with her, stepping in and back in synchronicity with her, swaying my hips side to side. Another drop of blood was welling up on her lip and as we danced it broke and rolled down her chin. I reached out with my right hand and caught the drop on my fingertip, bringing it to my lips to taste. Her eyes sparkled and her eyebrows twitched up ever so slightly. |
